Excerpt from The Triumph a Novel Of all our localists, as I may call the type of American writers whom I think the most national, no one has done things more expressive of the life he was born to than Mr. Harben. He was known by his sketches and stories of northern Georgia before he conceived the notion of portraying his old neighborhoods in the dimensions of that sort of human comedy which every writer attempts sooner or later. But some ten years since he gave a hostage to criticism in fiction of mature stature and manly make, which he has redeemed again and again by his subsequent novels. His people talk as if they had not been in books before, and they talk all the more interestingly because they have for the most part not been "in society, " or ever will be. They express themselves, without straining for dialect, in the neighborly parlance which their experience and their observation have not transcended, and they express themselves with a fury of fun, of pathos and profanity which is native to their region.
